This mission starts at 07:50 so we have 40 minutes, to locate, deliver the parts, and protect while the plane is fixed before the Soviets war machine kicks in to high gear.

The clock starts as soon as the server starts so we need to be ready to go, if you are late to arrive that is fine, you will just have to navigate to the location on your own to find us.

While it is pretty dark at the start daylight slowly creeps in. 

I do not think anyone will have a problem with the snow reflecting light so well but you can always adjust the Gamma brightness setting while in game by hitting Esc: Options/Basic settings (higher is brighter)

The Rescue plane is in the plane menu selection, it can be either a P40 or Hurricane.

Pilot roster update:

Red Flight:  

1: WWCraven: Hurricane

2: (Any other WW that joins)

3: WWGreyWolfe: Hurricane

4: WWDarkdiz: Hurricane

 

Viking Flight:

1: WWCephas: P40 (2 weeks)

2: WWSandman: P40 (2 weeks)

3: WWSittingDuck: P40 (last week)

4: WWPlague: P40 (last week)

Am I correct in my assumption that Red is escort/CAP for Viking?

Will we be escorting the downed plane/Viking back to home base if replacement parts are successfully delivered?  Again, assuming the server will provide a message to that effect when we should RTB?

Have you tried using IL-2 FlightPlanner at all Cephas?  Just wondering if it might be a tool you could use.  There is also a program called Ruler, might be a better tool but doesn't allow you to switch between KPH/MPH whereas IL-2 MissonPlanner does.

Attached screen shots of both programs.

#1 Both flights will go together, either flight can choose to have the rescue plane.  (please only use one though)

#2 Escort home is part of the mission and there are messages throughout telling what to do and status.

#3 I used to use IL2missionplanner.com but that website is dead now.  I am checking out Flight Planner now.

Viking is bringing ground attack loadout to suppress any ground enemy activity we may draw with our presence, so it would be better if a Hurricane chose the Rescue plane.

Be especially careful during ground attack with trees, they are hard to see until it is too late in the dim light of early morning.

 

It is a shame the game does not let ground vehicles drive across ice (only planes), or even better let you shatter the ice with bombs.  That would be great blowing holes in the ice and dropping enemy vehicles to the bottom.

We can take as many as want to fly.

Just select a WWGeneric Hurricane from the plane menu.

 

Just a reminder though for those that are new to the Tusani Hurrikaani missions:

These are meant to be a bit more realistic patrol type missions with an emphasis on flying as a team and trying to stay alive and bring your plane home while completing the objective, and not about scoring personal kills.

The enemy AI has morale in these missions and may try to run away if damaged, don't let them drag you away from the group as you chase after them for a kill.  (also the Hurricane has a limited ammo supply)

 

The mission is dead is dead (like coop) with spectator mode turned on so you can watch others if you are knocked out.  

 

If something screwy happens with the mission build or a stupid mulligan happens we do have the ability to allow a respawn now though.

I think Geezer has his own Tusani skin for both the P40 and Hurri.  If Chunk is going to be here Thu, I can scare up a pers P40 and Hurri skin, would likely be ready on HSD by Thu

We found a problem with our server update that was breaking multiplayer for a number of games. We've updated Steam with the fix and games should be working normally.

Well, THAT was less than optimum...

No idea why I couldn't get the game started.  Spent the rest of the night updating drivers etc, now it seems to work.

Could have been a Steam issue, but I couldn't even get the game to start from the initial load screen.  Anyway, after much screwing around, I THINK its working.  Was probably a combination of the Steam issue, MS update, drivers etc etc etc...

Yep-- I read that it was all steam like you originally thought-- seems if you have files from c1 website and steam,  steam wasnt syncing up with c1 files. But you could play offline...

all good now- thanks for skins
